Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 342

When Qiao Ruo heard Nanqi's words, her heart moved slightly. Going to the capital meant a new beginning, and it also meant being away from her current troubles. More importantly, by following Qiao Anan, she would have the opportunity to see a wider world.

Qiao Ruo looked up at Qiao Xing, his eyes flashing with expectation and inquiry.

Qiao Xing looked at the light in his daughter's eyes and felt mixed emotions.

He understood that this might be the best way out for Qiao Ruo.

Thinking of his sons' attitude towards Qiao Ruo, Qiao Xing nodded gently and said, "I have no objection to this matter. Ruoruo, you make your own decision. However, you have to think it over. The journey from the county to the capital is not close. If you stay with the young lady, you must persevere no matter how hard or tiring it is. Even if you are wronged, your father may not be able to support you. From now on, you can only rely on yourself."

After Qiao Xing finished speaking, his eyes turned bloodshot. Although he was unable to give Qiao Ruo a rich and luxurious life, he did his best to let her live a life without worries about food and clothing.

"Dad, I understand, thank you!" Qiao Ruo first bowed to Qiao Xing.

"Manager Nan, I am willing to go to the capital." Qiao Ruo looked at Nan Qi and said firmly.

She looked at Nanqi gratefully, as if she saw a ray of hope in her life.

Nan Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since you agree to this, then you should make good preparations and come to Beijing with us in three days."

"Thank you, Manager Nan, thank you, Manager Nan!" Qiao Ruo thanked him repeatedly, tears flashing in her eyes. This was not only a vision of the future, but also a gratitude to Nan Qi for appearing in time and solving her embarrassment.

Xing Yuxuan, who was standing by, felt mixed emotions when he saw this.

He originally thought that Qiao Ruo, a woman who had lost her innocence and had her engagement broken off, would never be able to turn things around in her life. However, he did not expect that things would take a turn for the better and she would have the opportunity to go to the capital and even get the protection of the prince's wife.

An inexplicable sense of loss came over him, but he quickly adjusted his mood and tried to salvage something.

"Ruoruo, I... I had my own difficulties before, please listen to my explanation." Xing Yuxuan said anxiously, his eyes full of regret.

But in his heart, he was thinking that if he could make Qiao Ru change her mind, he might have the opportunity to go to the capital with her and enjoy the blessings of being a capital city citizen.

Qiao Ruo glanced at him coldly, a faint smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. There was no warmth in that smile, only determination: "Mr. Xing, the past is the past. There is no connection between you and me anymore. I hope you can find the happiness that truly belongs to you."

Xing Yuxuan wanted to say something, but Qiao Ruo stopped him with a slight shake of his head.

She turned and walked into the house, leaving everyone with a resolute back.

Nanqi looked at this scene and felt a little secretly happy in his heart, but he still had to go to Qiao Zheng's house to see what Qiao Yuexin meant.

He patted Xing Yuxuan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Young man, sometimes, if you miss it, you miss it."

After saying that, Nanqi said no more. After saying goodbye to Qiao Xing, he left the Qiao Mansion.

The atmosphere in the Qiao Mansion suddenly became subtle.

Tao and Gu looked at each other, each with different thoughts in mind.

Qiao Xing looked at his daughter's room, his heart filled with reluctance and worry about Qiao Ruo's future.

Qiao Zhengjia

"Dad, it's already very difficult for you to earn money to support our family. Now that something like this has happened to my younger sister, how is she going to find a good family in the future?" Feng, the eldest daughter-in-law, said dissatisfiedly.

"If you ask me, isn't that butcher in need of a wife? His family offered a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver. I think it's quite suitable for my younger sister to marry that butcher. This way, we won't have to pay money when we go to butcher pigs in the future." The third son's wife, Lou, said with sparkling eyes. After all, at least their family should get a share of the ten taels of silver.

"Dad!" Qiao Yuexin felt terrible when she heard that she was going to marry that burly butcher.

"Little sister, I'm telling you, you're no longer a virgin. Who would want you? It's your blessing that the butcher wants you." Feng said dissatisfiedly.

"Enough, there's no peace anymore, is there?" The second brother Qiao Yuxing said impatiently.

"Second brother, you are impatient now. Don't come to ask for it when the money is divided." Feng said dissatisfiedly.

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? It's hard for my younger sister to get married after what happened to her. It's a good thing that someone wants her. Dad, you see, my younger sister is old enough. If she doesn't get married, it will implicate everyone and make them suffer." The second son's wife, Mrs. Hu, said quickly.

Qiao Zheng sat silently in the main seat in the main hall, his brows furrowed. The sparks in his pipe flickered, reflecting the deep wrinkles on his face.

Qiao Zheng had never expected that his daughter would encounter such a thing, and he had never expected that Qiao Yuexin had just returned, and several daughters-in-law in the family would be so eager to marry her off, and even recommended her to the famous pig butcher.

"Dad, I don't want to get married." Qiao Yuexin knelt in front of Qiao Zheng, tears in her eyes, her voice filled with endless pleading.

Although she was young, she knew what it meant to marry a butcher.

"Yuexin, get up." Qiao Zheng put down his pipe, his voice low and powerful.

He looked at his sons and daughters-in-law, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination, "If any of you ever mention letting Yuexin marry a butcher again, you will no longer recognize me as your father."

Feng and Lou looked at each other. Although they felt unwilling, they did not dare to say anything more.

They knew that as the head of the family, Qiao Zheng's words were set in stone and could not be changed.

"Dad, what about my younger sister's marriage?" asked the second son Qiao Yuxing. Although he did not have much brotherly affection for Qiao Yuexin, he did not want to have a bad relationship with his father because of this matter.

"I'll find a way." Qiao Zheng stood up, his eyes sweeping over everyone present. "Yue Xin is my daughter, and I won't let her suffer any injustice. You all should remember this: she is my daughter, Qiao Zheng. As long as I'm alive, you won't have the final say."

After saying that, Qiao Zheng turned and walked into the inner room, leaving his daughter-in-law and son in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.

Qiao Yuexin stood up and wiped the tears from her face, feeling both grateful and uneasy.

She knew that although her father said he would find a way, her reputation in this small county was already ruined, and it would be difficult to find a good marriage.

Besides, my father only told my sisters-in-law not to mention not allowing her to marry the butcher, but he didn't mention not allowing her to marry anyone else.

But with her current reputation, how could she find a good family?

Qiao Yuexin felt confused at this moment.

At this time, Nanqi had already arrived outside Qiao Zheng's house.
